Short/naive question:  do the mpl eggs have a dependency on Tk 8.4?

Longer question:  I'm trying to support a plugin (NLOPredict) to a  
popular molecular vis pkg (UCSF Chimera) and, no surprise, the plugin  
uses mpl.  Chimera bundles its own Python, plus all dependencies.   
The latest version switched to Python 2.5 and Tcl/Tk 8.5.  It also  
bundles numpy 1.0.4.  So I tried to install a mpl-maintenance egg  
(Windows first) that used Python 2.5 and pre-numpy 1.1 (I tried mpl  
0.91.4 and 91.2).  However, when I bring up the Chimera IDLE, I get:

 >>> from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg
traceback...
File "d:\chimera-1.2540\bin\lib\site-package\matplotlib-0.91.2-py2.5- 
win32.egg\matplotlib\backends\backend_tkagg.py", line 8, in <module>
    import tkagg    # Paint image to Tk photo blitter extension
  File "d:\chimera-1.2540\bin\lib\site-package\matplotlib-0.91.2- 
py2.5-win32.egg\matplotlib\backends\tkagg.py", line 1, in <module>
    import _tkagg
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified file could not be found.


Ideas?
thanks, Randy
